Shierliao is located in Emei Township, Hsinchu County. Although it has faced the challenges of an aging population and youth out-migration in recent years, it still preserves the simple, honest, and kind characteristics of a rural village. On this foundation, we are committed to practicing the gift economy, hoping to create a shared living circle where giving itself is a gift. Currently, the village is promoting: free stores, communal kitchens, hitchhiking, backpacker hostels, work exchange, co-working spaces, trash-to-treasure carpentry workshops, native species promotion and restoration, food forests, Livehouse, sustainable in-depth tourism, artist-in-residence programs, and the Timelinker Time Bank.

Shierliao in Emei Township, the mysterious back garden of Hsinchu County, has up to ninety percent of its total area covered by layers of undulating mountains; permeating through the countryside is the authentic Hakka village atmosphere, full of traditional warmth and hospitality. The aroma of tea, the singing of birds, and the natural landscape under a slow-paced time zone await your arrival to enjoy your time!
